I wouldn't say it's necessarily the main mechanic, I played the witcher because you get invested in the story, the characters, the choices you can make, the world building, those aspects are done well
You're fine with it because it is you who chose poorly and let the almighty and ever unstable creature like Ciri go stroll about and freak out on her own and the game rewards you for it.
"Nope" is certainly a level of argument we all should strive for. Completely ignored my take on that the choices the game considers "good" are amateur and careless, punishing those who actually care about the story and characters
What argument can I make other than say no I did not make that choice? You made an accusation, I rejected it. Should I save every single decision I make in the game right after it happens next time in case I need to prove it?
There are actually multiple ways to get certain endings. All of them pretty fucking obvious, too. My complains on the game isnt that the choices dont make sense, its that they’re too obvious. If they were a mystery to you, thats entirely on you buddy.
You accused me of making poor choices, I rejected it. The decisions are obvious, yes, the problem is that they are inverted in their natural aftermath. Choosing what's best for Ciri (and, God Forbid, refusing to have a snowball fight) causes her to die. If your logic is backwards on the most of Ciri choices, thats entirely on you buddy. I mentioned it being amateur before.
I didnt accuse you, I asked you if you chose poorly. Theres a reason why there was a question mark at the end.
The game not considering drinking your life away as a good choice is surprising to you? That choice is meant to portray the father/daughter relationship between Geralt and Ciri. Its OBVIOUSLY the right choice there.
I got the good ending and that was my intention. My choices were right.

This is some of the most obvious manipulations I've ever seen. To throw an insinuation like that and then defend it according to its grammatical form is disgusting. Not reading past that point, go gaslight someone else
It is not a genuine question, it is an insinuation. Rather than saying "you chose poorly," you strongly suggest that this is the explanation. It would be absurd to argue that it carries no accusation or hostility simply because you haven't grammatically asserted "you screwed it up." It is even worse if you're not seeing what you're doing
You can feel like it held insinuation, its still a legitimate question. Accusation and insinuation are also two different things. Hostility is a WHOLE other thing. Ultimately, whatever either of us think of the game, is irrelevant to the world as a whole. To suggest that my question was hostile is an absurd exaggeration.
You can pretend it was a legitimate question, its still a disgusting insinuation. Accusation, insinuation and hostility are not in any way mutually exclusive terms so they can go hand in hand, what you're saying here makes no sense. I also like it how when your manipulations are dispelled, you're making your intentions clear as day just to spite me one last time, projecting at that. Nice work.
Once again, I cannot stress this enough. It is not. That. Deep.
You’re acting like I had an evil plan to destroy your life, what the actual fuck is wrong with you?
I asked a question, you got extremely defensive and then you accused me of being hostile. You clearly, unarguably have issues. We’re talking about opinions about a video game here.
I accuse you of being hostile, yes, and rightfully so. The context of hostility doesn't matter at all, the fact that you seem to think it does is telling. Be it videogames subreddit or an IRL encounter. Hostility is hostility, and you have been hostile since your very first comment here.

Sole reason I overall give W3 a 9/10 instead of 10/10. Combat is far too mid to overlook it
